THE CANADIAN STATESMM, BOWMANVILLE, THURSDAY, MARCH 12th, 1931 PAUC TWO r~Iituî~Iioeoe rn~ i COMMODITY PRICE-WARS It lias sometiincs been stated by people not fariliar with ail the f acts that local bakers charge exorbitant pries for their bread as compared wtb cliain stores and buge bakery concerns. The reasons whY these big firms seil below the local bakers la given in a despatcl in the Finan- cial Post o! Feb. 26tli. The article states that owing ta the bread war between these concerns the Canada Bread Company is withhlidg its dlvidend until the outcomne is seen. This paragrapli is taken f rom the Post: "Bread companies have com- posed their differences, but now the contest is between cliain store com- panies wbo make bread a ieading item at prices whicb manufacturers dlaim is beiow the cost o! produc- tion." Furtlier down the article contin- ues: "It is interesting ta note that the report recently publislicd by F. A. MeGregor, registrar o! the Com- bines Invsetigation Act, giving the resuits o! bis inquiry into the price of bread in Canada shows that cliain stores bave one advantage in quot- lng a lower price o! bread: they have no deliveries ta make. Mr. McGreg- or shows total delivery and sale costs for ail bakeries in Canada ta be 1.65 cents for eacli pound o! bread sold out o! a total cost o! 6.78 cents per pound i 1929. Costs o! advertising and selling would be f et by bth the large bakerles and the chain stores but delivery forms a large part manville bad an international repu- tation tbrougb its celebrated D.

Many can recali in the baicyon day s o! yore bow you thought yaur- self the cynosure o! ail eyes, the envy o! the other kids, when permitted ta carry the cymbai player's music, or ta stand in rapt attention holding alof t a tarcli lest the bass drummer sound a f aise note. Ater ail we are only kids grown up. We applaud in conventionai style* the compositions o! the great masters: we were enthusiastic over the work of' the renowned virtuoso, but we open the deepest recesses o! aur hearts ta the music-be it good or bad-of the Town Band.

I've wondered what kmnd of a chap' lie'll be and I've wished I could take bis hand, Just ta whisper, "I wish you well, old man" in a way that he'd under- stand: I'd like ta give him the cheering word that I've langed at tinies to hear; I'd like ta give him the warm liand- clasp, whenever a !riend seems near. I've learned my knowledge by sheeri bard work. and I wisli I could pass it on To the !eilow who'll corne ta take my place some day wben I arn gone. Wiil lie see all the sad mistakes 've made and note ail the batties lost? Will he ever guess o! the tears I've shed or the beartaches which they have cost? Will lie gaze tbrough the failures and fruitless toil ta the underly- ing plan And catch à glimpse o! the reai in- tent and the beart o! the van- quisbed man? I dare ta, hope lie may pause some day as lie touls as I have wrought, But I've only the task itself ta leave with the cares for bis ta face, And neyer a cheering word may speak ta the feilow who'il take my place. Then here's ta your heaitb, aId chap! I drink as a bridegroam ta bis bride- I leave an unfinished task for you, but God knows how I have tried. Vve dreamed my dreams as ail men do, but neyer a ane came true, And my prayer today is that ail the dreams may be realized by you. And we'll meet some day in the great unknown - out in the reaini o! space; You'll know my clasp as I take your hand and gaze in your tired face; Then al aur failures will be success un tbe light af thbe new faund dawn- ofis flI UIitmwLithUthe purely Odkig - --jimdrinking your health, old chapi conccrns."
